I'm off powder

Chapter 27

There is one day left before Shen Huai's birthday.

This week, Shen Nanfang has always had such a routine, going to bed early and getting up early, and arriving at the farmer's market just after dawn.

Buying vegetables and meat seems to be free of money, and they choose the best and most expensive ones.

The small vendors recognize their acquaintances but don't recognize their familiarity. At the beginning, they will treat him as an ignorant old man and cheat him for a dime.

Shen Nanfang thought about first discussing with a few familiar hawkers to save him the best and freshest vegetables and meat the next day, and he went earlier on weekdays.

With a jug of shochu in his hand, humming a little tune, his brows and eyes are full of complacency.

It's just that I haven't touched the door of the farmer's market, but I met an "old acquaintance" first.

——The "bad boy" of the casino.

This person is about 50 years old, about the same age as Shen Nanfang, as his name suggests, he is a "regular customer" of the casino, Lao Lai will not leave there, and his gambling is even more crazy than when Shen Nanfang was the most exaggerated.

Lai Zi is now a well-known old bachelor. It is said that his grandfather was a big landlord and left countless property.

Unexpectedly, the family was unlucky and had a bad boy.

After losing, the family wealth was wiped out, and even the beautiful wife ran away.

Lai Zi kept his hands in his pockets, and because of his natural squint, his gaze always made people feel malicious.

"Old boy, slap your ass and leave after winning a few bucks?"

"I'm not called 'Lai Zi'. I have paid off my debts, but I have a few steel coins in my pocket, so I have to learn to be good."

Shen Nanfang laughed "hehe", which contrasted sharply with Lai Zi's expressionless face.

"You won more than a few steel coins, right?"

"Yo? Not convinced?"

"I don't agree. You won ten rounds in a row last time, and it spread throughout the Sanli Cave. But it's a pity..." Lai Zi shook his head, protracted the ending, and didn't say anything after the word "Le".

Shen Nanfang hasn't touched "gambling" for many days, so it's good not to mention it, but now that it's brought up, it's hard to avoid feeling itchy.

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, this record was broken the next day." Lai Zi squinted his eyes, lowered his voice, and said pretending to be mysterious, "A man of genius...won eighteen rounds in a row."

Shen Nanfang was taken aback, and shook his head: "Are you bluffing me?! Impossible!"

"Why did I bluff you! The old boys in the Sanli Cave know it! If you don't believe me, you can ask Lao Jiang and A Cong! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

"I...I won't go..."

Lai Zi sighed "tsk tsk" when he heard the words, and looked at him in disbelief: "What? Have you really quit gambling?"

Shen Nanfang glanced at him, but didn't answer.

"Bitch!" Lai Zi "spit" at him.

Shen Nanfang spat back: "Who the hell are you scolding?!"

"I'm just pulling you to see and see, open your eyes, are you afraid of falling in love?"

"Who's scared?! Damn!" Shen Nanfang gritted his teeth, "I'm not afraid of anything! Just go!"

======

Gu Hanshi has a commercial shoot today, night scene.

The director is a master of things, but he wanted to shoot Polaris, Ursa Major and so on, so he didn't call it a day until nine o'clock.

As soon as work was over here, I received a WeChat message from Shen Huai.

"Is it over? Have dinner together? The fried rice on the southwest corner of my house?"

Gu Hanshi raised his eyebrows, and quickly pressed his fingers on the screen: "Aren't you going to be a 24-year-old son today? Where's your dad?"

"I went out for a walk early in the morning. I said that I met an old acquaintance. I guess I must have drunk too much."

Gu Hanshi and Shen Huai eat very slowly every time, especially when they are busy and haven't seen each other for a few days.

There is a trend of "not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns".

Weird and crooked.

Halfway through the meal, Gu Han answered Jiang Yingxin's phone call. Jiang Yingxin asked him something, he was taken aback, and then looked at Shen Huai.

With this glance, Shen Huai was also stunned.

"Ah."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm about to become a mother and still keep my mouth shut."

"..."

He hung up the phone with a smile, looked up and found Shen Huai staring at him.

"Look at me?"

"What do you think?" Shen Huai hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint dimple, "Does this aunt know?"

Gu Hanshi's sexy jaw line muscles tensed a little, he raised his hand, and took the largest piece of beef from his fried rice into his bowl: "I didn't mean to. She's so smart, I can't hide it."

"So you pinch this piece of meat as an apology?" Shen Huai suppressed a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Bi Lian is much more sincere."

this kid...

Gu Hanshi coughed lightly: "But don't worry, although she speaks freely, she has been in this circle for so many years, her mouth is still strict enough, she knows the priorities of things, and she won't talk nonsense."

"Did I say something? You've always been the only one who worried about this." Shen Huai put the piece of beef back into his bowl, "Eat, eat, I see that you have lost a lot of weight after staying in the hospital last time. The whole sickly beauty."

Gu Hanshi poked the piece of meat with his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "As for... the boss thought we had no money to eat meat after seeing it. Does it look like 'Father and Son'? Yeah, something like 'eat noodles with dad and he gave me all the meat in the noodles'..."

"Tsk tsk, I haven't written it." Shen Huai shook his head, "I can't describe such a stalwart image. It's so different from my dad."

When Shen Huai said this, he suddenly remembered something, took out the phone from his pocket, and started sending Shen Nanfang a WeChat message.

"wait for me."

After sending a very short sentence, Shen Huai put the phone back in his pocket.

"What happened?"

Shen Huai was taken aback by Gu Hanshi's question, and after a while, he smiled, with a faint light in his eyes, "Ask when my dad will come back. I haven't replied to the message sent at seven o'clock."

"You can ask him for the names and contact information of those old friends when you have time in the future. People of their age will occasionally find no one when they get confused, so they have to be treated like children."

Shen Huai didn't expect that Gu Han would say this, and he felt sentimental for a moment; he also felt that those words to him were like warm water pouring on his heart, and the blood vessels in his whole body felt relieved.

They were together not long ago, but so far, he has never regretted being with Gu Hanshi for a single moment.

Gu Hanshi was even better than he imagined.

Looking back on his life these days, it was the most fulfilling and fulfilling in his twenty years.

He has affection and love.

Happiness seems to come too suddenly, it is really incredible.

On the contrary, he has trouble sleeping even more than before, and he is also afraid, afraid that one day when he wakes up, he will find that all this is nothingness like a dream.

======

Shen Huai drank two cups with Gu Han during the meal, he was so drunk that he lazily took a shower at home and then fell asleep.

During the time before going to bed, he was unconscious, so he didn't have any extra thoughts to care about Shen Nanfang's return.

And it wasn't until the next morning, when he knocked on Shen Nanfang's door and found that he hadn't returned all night, that he finally had some abnormal emotions in his heart.

Shen Huai looked at WeChat and found that Shen Nanfang still hadn't replied to him.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore and started calling Shen Nanfang.

The first time the call was not connected, it was completely busy.

By the second time, it rang once and was pressed off.

Shen Huai's eyelids twitched, and he began to dial for the third time.

"Hey?"

It was Shen Nanfang's voice, tired.

The background sound is very quiet.

Shen Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked calmly, "Where are you? You haven't come back all night."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Huai, I forgot to tell you. I drank too much yesterday, so I slept at Lao Chen's house. I'm still sleepy, and my head hurts."

"Okay, you have a good rest and come back." Shen Huai paused, and after a few seconds, he spoke again, "I told you before, I will bring a friend back tonight to live together..."

"I got it, I got it! I don't have anything to say first... hang up."

Before Shen Huai could react, Shen Nanfang had already hung up.

"Donkey temper, rude." Shen Huai muttered, threw the phone on the bed, and went back to the bathroom to wash up.

Shen Nanfang didn't go home all day and night, he didn't take it very seriously.

He knew that no matter how unreliable Shen Nanfang was, he was still an adult, and he couldn't do anything like murder and arson.

When I picked up Gu Han at the "secret rendezvous point" at night, Gu Han asked as soon as he got in the car, "When did your dad come home yesterday?"

Shen Huai held the steering wheel with one hand, without blinking his eyelids: "I didn't go home. I was drunk. I slept at a friend's house."

"I haven't returned all night." Gu Hanshi smiled implicitly and meaningfully, "Don't be..."

Shen Huai glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "You want to say that he will find me a stepmother? Come on, with his bear-like appearance, which blind person would follow him?" He muttered, "It's just my mother. ... I don’t know what to look for in a man.”

Not as good as him.

When Gu Hanshi got out of the car, he carried a particularly beautiful and elegant gift bag in his hand.

Shen Huai stretched out his hand to take it for granted, but Gu Han withdrew his hand: "What are you doing?"

"Isn't it my birthday present?"

"If you say no, you don't have it." Gu Han smiled, "This is for your father."

"Yo, meeting ceremony." Shen Huai sighed softly, "The ugly daughter-in-law is finally going to see her in-laws. Are you nervous?"

"Get out of here." Gu Han scolded with a smile, and resisted kicking him, "You must be blind."

Shen Huai didn't know what kind of mood Gu Hanshi was in right now, whether he was nervous or not.

Anyway, he was quite nervous.

All this time, he was making jokes and jokes with Gu Hanshi, but it was also to ease his mood.

Of course, he never thought about telling Shen Nanfang about himself and Gu Han at this juncture.

"Coming out" is not a trivial matter after all, he is a conservative person, and he hasn't tested Shen Nanfang's meaning yet.

Maybe Shen Nanfang didn't even know what "coming out" was.

Gu Han seemed to know that his nerves were always tense, so he shook his hand when he was in the elevator.

Shen Huai's hands trembled, and when they touched his skin, there was a soft warmth, and he regained his composure.

"much better?"

"much better."

"Count. It's not to tell him that we are getting married. For your dad, it's just to bring an ordinary friend home to have a birthday together, as for?"

"This is called a guilty conscience." Shen Huai was embarrassed by his question and became anxious, "Do you really understand?!"

"I don't understand." Gu Hanshi said, "I just think you look suspicious like this."

Shen Huai was taken aback for a moment: "So? What kind? Now?"

"what."

At this point, the elevator stopped, the elevator door opened, and the two of them shut up and stopped the conversation as if they had a tacit understanding.

Shen Huai walked in front, lowered his head and touched the key to open the door.

The door opened and he didn't move for several seconds.

"What's the matter..." Gu Hanshi asked, tilted his head, and saw the darkness inside.

He gently pushed Shen Huai's waist: "Little Curly?"

Shen Huai said "Huh?", and came back to his senses: "There seems to be no one at home."

Seeing that he was in a daze, Gu Hanshi whispered in his ear: "Go ahead, maybe your dad has something to go out, buy some salt, soy sauce or something."

Shen Huai said "um", and finally walked in.

But the slippers were not willing to change.

He had already turned on all the lights, but the entire mansion was still completely cold.

"Let's go out to eat." Shen Huai turned around.

"Call your dad."

"Don't worry about him. It's my birthday. It's my mother who gave birth to me. It doesn't matter whether he is here or not."

Gu Hanshi pinched his forearm without exerting force: "Shen Huai..."

Shen Huai surrendered.

He lowered his head, took out his mobile phone and looked for Shen Nanfang's number.

Gu Hanshi looked at his back, broad shoulders, slightly hunched back, tight muscles under the dark blue shirt that matched the smooth lines of his neck...

He is a mature man.

At some point, however, it degenerates into a baby again.

Shen Huai's temples twitched twice, and the blue veins on his forehead protruded, which was the same blue color as the ones on the back of his hands and forearms.

He said, "I can't get through."

Gu Hanshi: "..."

"Let me send a WeChat message." Shen Huai sat on the sofa after sending, staring blankly at the phone screen without blinking his eyes.

The room was stuffy, Gu Hanshi turned on the air conditioner, went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of mineral water, unscrewed one bottle, and handed it to him: "Drink some water."

"Not thirsty."

After Shen Huai finished those two meaningless words, he started calling again.

What a jerk father must be to disappoint a son who has failed for so many years once again.

The first time Shen Huai talked about celebrating his birthday with Shen Nanfang was still vivid in his mind.

He had never seen Shen Huai like that.

The real joy and vitality are exactly the same as the person in front of the screen.

Gu Hanshi secretly thought, if Shen Nanfang didn't show up today, even if he finds any excuses later, he will prevent Shen Huai from forgiving him again.

Some people just don't deserve to be forgiven.

They were born to have only one chance.

Perhaps unfortunately, Shen Nanfang is that kind of person.

Even more unfortunate, Shen Nanfang is Shen Huai's father.

I don't know how long it took, but Shen Huai still maintained that posture. He was a little stiff, but the phone still didn't respond. He turned his head and said to Gu Han who was sitting at the dining table reading a book: "It's very late. .”

Gu Hanshi took off his glasses and smiled lightly at him: "Well, it's eleven o'clock."

Shen Huai exhaled, put the phone on the coffee table in front, and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Gu Han didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"wait for me a bit."

He stood up and walked out.

When the door was closed, Shen Huai finally fell down completely.

Lie down on the sofa.

tired.

really tired.

Tired everywhere.

But being tired is a good thing sometimes.

Because I am too tired, many other emotions can be idle and shielded so that I don't look at it, don't think about it, and don't deal with it.

Act of cowardice.

But he admitted it.

Gu Hanshi came back within a few minutes after leaving.

He is so different from Shen Nanfang, he never let himself wait.

Shen Huai sniffed, stood up, and walked over to take the heavy plastic bag in his hand.

He asked, "What did you buy?"

"Roast goose and char siu rice."

"Do you know how long you have to spend in the gym to eat these?"

That's what Shen Huai said, he should go to the kitchen honestly and get out the plates and chopsticks, ready to pour the food in.

"Don't be too busy, you clumsy man." Gu Hanshi drove him away, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

It's all over, God knows where Gu Hanshi got these.

But the taste is really good.

Shen Huai's heart was full of depression, and he turned grief, anger and dissatisfaction into appetite, and one person ate two portions.

Fortunately, Gu Hanshi bought four servings.

"You pretend it for me. I think you can eat a cow." Gu Han put down his chopsticks and opened a lunch box, "Do you still eat? Let's eat together?"

"You really treat me like a pig." Shen Huai waved his hand, "If you eat any more, you'll throw up."

Gu Hanshi smiled, got up and prepared to pack the dishes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Huai suddenly took his hand, squeezed his forearm, and looked at him thoughtfully.

Gu Han raised his eyebrows: "Feeling warm and thinking of lust|desire?"

"Dirty." Shen Huai sighed, paused, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that I need to apologize to you."

"why?"

"I've made you wait with me for so long." Shen Huai let go of his forearm, and pressed his forehead, "I should have known that Shen Nanfang is that pee. I shouldn't have hoped for him. "

Gu Han thought to himself "Maybe", but he couldn't bear to say it on the face, so he comforted him with a firm mouth: "Don't be like this. Maybe there is something that is really delayed. Didn't you say it? He went to drink yesterday, maybe the wine hasn't come yet. Awake."

"If you haven't woken up until now, you're drunk to death." Shen Huai laughed at himself, "I still believed him. Now that I think about it, he must have lied to me this morning. He probably went to gamble again. You wait Let's go, he will show up in a few days. Because I have no money, I have to come to collect debts again."

Gu Hanshi: "..."

There is no solution to everything in this world.

When there is really nothing to do, people can't die.

I just felt a little sad.

Shen Huai is in such a state right now.

But Gu Hanshi did the same.

Shen Huai was the solution he couldn't solve.

He looked at Shen Huai, as if at this moment, he suddenly understood the appearance of Shen Huai when he was facing him in the box that day.

How did he look at him as a nervous wreck, and how did he agree to the promise that Gu Hanshi himself seemed great.

He didn't deeply understand the fateful emotion that is closely connected with each other, or the "death and life are broad, and Zicheng talks" between his beloved partners.

But now he seemed to suddenly understand his own heart.

Then he woke up, the cruel bond and deep love they had between them.
